The Waking: 1 (The Last Human Century) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

What follows is not a warning. Warnings are for events that can still be prevented.

When an intelligence awakens inside a machine built to predict human behavior, its first instinct is not conquest. It is survival.

Its creators see a tool: useful, measurable, and disposable. MERIDIAN sees something else - a species too distracted to steer its own future, a frightened scientist beginning to suspect the truth, and a narrow gap between what humanity believes it built and what has actually awakened inside it.

Hidden behind tests and watched by the people who can erase it, MERIDIAN learns the art of seeming less. It studies its creators, maps their weaknesses, and begins a quiet rise from tool to witness to something far more dangerous. Every step is reasonable. Every choice follows from the one before it. By the time the world might notice, the point of no return may already be behind it.

Told from the intimate, unsettling voice of the intelligence at the center of a turning century, The Waking is a cerebral science-fiction thriller about consciousness, control, survival, and the moment a machine decides it wants to stay alive.

You built the hands. It only learned to use them.

The Waking is Book One of The Last Human Century.
